Short Sale Process Continued

December 15th, 2009 at 02:53 pm

Here is an update on our short sale process:

We currently have our home on the market. We had four showings the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, but no offers resulted and no showings since. We plan to have an open house after the holidays.

I received a voice mail message from Wells Fargo last week. When I called it back they informed us we are behind in our payments, which we were aware. I explained that we were in the process of applying for a short sale. The guy told us the short sale option had been denied. We had not received a letter regarding this yet and he told us when it was mailed out and asked if we wanted to reapply for the short sale again. I told him I would wait and see what the letter says. We were extremely disappointed and pretty much settled on the fact that we will have to stay put.

The letter arrived over the weekend and said exactly the opposite of what the guy on the phone told us! It said that we have not been approved for mortgage payment assistance because they were unable to get us to a revised payment amount that we could afford per the investor guidelines on our mortgage. Then it went on to say, "At this point, we recommend the following options: Short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure." So, I guess we are still in the game!

    Nice... the guy was talking out of his rear end to try to get what he wanted. That is so frustrating, but wonderful that he was wrong and short-selling is still an option! Better to have the insurance of options on the table, than to be having your hand forced at this point. Good luck with everything!
